A man from Mexico has performed an inspiring act of kindness, by providing shelter for over 300 stray dogs during Hurricane Delta.

Per a recent report by Mexico News Daily, Ricardo Pimentel Cordero allowed more than 300 homeless canines into his home on the evening of Tuesday 6 and the early morning of Wednesday 7, as the tropical storm battered the coastline near his home near Cancun.

Watch this video showing the adorable dogs sheltering at home with Ricardo:

Ricardo, who is also the founder of the Tierra de Animales shelter, took to Facebook last week to document the plight of the unfortunate animals, sharing a video of him giving them a safe haven as the category one hurricane raged around them.

Cordero captioned his post:

"We have already started the preparation work for the hurricane here in Tierra de Animales (cutting branches, securing things that can fly, walling up windows and doors, filling drums with water, charging flashlight batteries, etc, etc). More radical is that we are going to fill the house with dogs, so there is going to be a poop party, But what can you do?"

Ricardo then made an appeal for donations, to help the animals who now have no refuge, writing:

"The hurricane has moved away, but it has left us with a lot of work and hundreds of animals to rearrange, feed and keep in better conditions. All help is welcome... If you wanted and can send us donations for animals we will greatly appreciate it!"

He also added: "If I lived alone, or only with about 10 or 20 dogs then I would not worry too much, but here there are hundreds of animals, and we cannot afford not to have enough food stored, so I strongly ask you to support us if you can."

As word of Ricardo's act spread on social media, many Facebook users were clearly touched by his selflessness. Per Mexico News Daily, the Tierra de Animales shelter was soon inundated by donations and words of thanks from the general public.

According to El Universal, although all of the dogs staying with Ricardo made it through the night, his shelter wasn’t as lucky, with the roof being blown off and the outdoor space cluttered with broken branches and fallen trees.
